Molded

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Apr 22, 2025 


Molded.
Form.
End result.
Unstructured 
clay.
Soft.
Malleable.
Formless.
Years.
Years
in the
making.
Manipulated.
Pounded.
Stretched.
Twisted.
Rolled
over and
over. 
Hardening 
over
time.
Each
unique.
Chiseled.
Cut.
Shaved
away.
Environmentally 
fashioned.
From
origin,
unrecognizable.
Amplified.
Survival.
End result
dependent.
Lessons
learned,
final
outcome.
